  • Famous Grouse! Yummy when I feel it burning in my tummy.

  • isto you are the man

  • Wow this is amazing! haha great play with the words as well

  • Among the best songs you've put on youtube so far in my humble opinion

    I'm just glad someone like you exists

    cheers

  • I listened to this song every day for the last week maybe i have a problem

  • Dude, that is a great song. It gave me goosebumps.

  • This song is so true. Alcohol fixes everything. Maybe it's just temporary, but theirs always more alcohol. And even if there wasn't, temporary relief is better than constant agony.

  • this song is a work of genius

  • lyrical genius and bearded mastermind :)

  • when i first heard this 3 years ago, did not identify with the song, but i still liked it

    3 years later, i do, and i like it more than ever.

    long live isto

  • when i first heard this 3 years ago, did not identify with the song, but i still liked it

  • hahaha

  • hey isto i really like your music. This spirit song here is a great melody. I listen to the banana song a couple of times a month.

    You oughta be on snl or something like that.

  • Der Geist im Glas

  • masterful

  • Does anyone got tabs of it ? I mean not only chords ya< know, but complete tabs. I don't have what it takes to find what's the notes are by myself.

  • this is one of my favorite songs in the whole entire world. i could listen/watch this for hours. it's amazing.

  • I wish I wrote it

  • im surprised you havent been picked up yet isto.

  • wheres your cover of ill be missing you? that was a very great song! lol

  • a touching song

    great job isto.

  • awesome!

  • Man... i must say your songs are something like AMAZINGGGGG this is my favourite. i'll sing this whenever i'm drunk dude, i hope you dont mind man. eheh

  • this is one of my favorites, you're amazing and my fucking hero...

  • i loved this

  • it seems like he is a little depressed.

  • I love this.

    Found me a new drinking song.

  • same, Ill be singing this one

  • Wonderful, simply wonderful.

  • loving this

  • I have wasted many a night to that wretched "Famous Grouse"....

  • if I were a man, I would totally look like him!! :D

    I wonder if he want's to marry me... :)?

    ..-I would marry me :o

    I heart Isto!!

    //Isto's fat girl fanclub :D

  • @Sandalskaft You are the most awful kind of person.

  • probably the best musician in the world ;)

  • maybe isto is the best musician ever

  • could u pls write more songs on alcohol? whisky, wine, beer...etc!!

  • God. This is the best song I´ve heard from isto! It´s absolutely amazing!!...hey, I have your songs in my MP3..including this :D :))

    ..greetings from Czech Republic!:)

    (sorry for my english:D)

  • great song ;)

  • Great song.

  • Man, you have fans in Russia!!!!

  • this man is brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Great guitarist and musician, this song was award worthy man. Keep them coming

  • wow.

  • If you were able to play like this after a bottle of famous grouse i would be greatly impressed, regardless of that fact, i prefer this style of your songs, instead of all the jumpy covers you seem to be producing

  • "When that spirit in the bottle sets me free" - watch where Isto walks at the end, he disappears behind/into the bottle. Brilliant.

  • I think it is showing that alcoholics never see it as a problem, they see it as an easy escape. I don't know that is just what I think :\ but isto is amazing.

  • i'm an alcoholic and i understand what he's talking about.

  • hahahhaa

  • no it is not it is showing what it is okay to become being a alcoholic person

  • There are a lot of functioning alcoholics out there so qq less.

  • It seems to me that a lot of people have missed the point of this song. It's kind of funny, but in a very melancholy way. It's not glorifying drinking like seems to be the implication from many of the other comments.

    Either way, one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

  • yo man this song lifts me up when im down. dont know why, might be just cuz u put a nice spin on things and makin a sweet tune more like this pls peace.

  • hes the most under-rated musician on youtube.

    isto we love you.

  • i agree we all should spreed the word of isto!

  • @itsjustadeer Why underrated? I´m glad to have discovered him.

    And sometimes "secrets are the liquor, who keeps us alive".

    Greetings.

  • @unterlaender60 underrated as in he doesn't get enough recognition. he's great.

  • @itsjustadeer i think this is true.

    But i also think he is the best musician on youtube!

  • Really good stuff.

    "I've got my genie, and my wish is to get plastered."

    Awesome.

  • This is excellent, dude. Really.

  • hah, because of the beard perhaps? are you retarded?

  • Now then, if your grammar was correct you would've said 'you are an ape' not 'yuou are an ape' congratulations, well done to you.

  • Consider kororinpa owned!

  • Actually, the grammar on that one was fine. There appeared to be a typo which resulted in a spelling mistake. Spelling does not equal grammar, n00b.

  • What are you talking about? he's not black.

  • isto for president

  • oh my... beautiful... so sad though... the slow walk away at the end... it broke my heart! isto should rule the world

  • Wonderful. You're an amazing talent. Subscribed.

  • this is the most beautiful song in the world

  • exxxxxxzelllllentttt!!!!!! 1A:-)

  • I love it. I'm a songwriter here in Austin tx, and starting a youtube collective called "Saturday Sessisons". It is a portal for working songwriters. All you gotta do is link up with us....come on down!

  • I have seen the bottled spirit that Isto is singing about.. hmmm. And, another day to consider if meeting up with spirit is still a good idea.

  • do you have a myspace with songs onit? mebs this song?

  • nice text, nice melody, nice guitar...

    you're good dude :P

    i like the most of your song :D

    but especially this !!

  • Very well written. I enjoyed the chord progression, especially when you switched the diminished motif right before you took it home. I struggle with addiction too, so I can totally understand and related to it. Keep writing, man. You have a talent for it. All I can seem to do is learn others' songs, so I hope you have this copyrighted! :)

  • ...switched TO the diminished motif... That's what I actually meant. But most people probably didn't even notice.

  • Wow. That's beautiful. What does this have to do with "Casablanca"?

  • simply great. perfect insight.

  • the bottle XD good dude

  • he blinks at 1:15

  • He blinks at the beginning and around 1:11.. I am pretty sure he wanted to not blink - so we could have these discussions.

  • haha dude's on somthing.. guy didnt even blink once though the hole vid

  • Anyone know if he is still active? I mean does he still post up new vids?

  • Yeah, he does.

  • I heart Isto. This song is beautiful and tempting. Yes, tempting.

  • I liver Isto.

  • Wow, just wow.

    Astonishing.

  • you sing/play because you like it and we can see that with your songs, you are a genius and your songs really touches me. 5*

  • I've been watching a lot of your videos, and I love your music. You should seriously consider putting your songs on iTunes. I would be very likely to purchase your music if it were on iTunes.

  • o..genius..professional and with style

  • Man, every time I see/hear this song, I think it all the funnier and deep.

    White, it's a shame today's music scene doesn't recognize you, the genius lyricist that can blend witty aphorisms with folksy tunes. In the meantime, you should know that we, your Youtube audience, think highly of you and sit on our seats' edges yearning for more of your contributions.

    Thank you, and keep them coming!
